IrishG Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Hi,I am looking for a strategy to try and get a 3 1/2*+ hotel in Boston for the period from 9 March to 16 March. Ideally I'd like to stay in the Boston Common / Theatre or Quincy Market / Financial District areas. Any advise on what type of bids I should be making would be greatly appreciated.
AaronJB Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Please provide your desired max budget per night, and we would be happy to offer suggestions on how to proceed.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
IrishG Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 Really useful site for an Irish traveller. Ideally don't want to pay more than $160 a night but maybe I'm being overly optimistic with that.
thereuare Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 You may be able to get a 4* hotel for $160 or under... are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel (ie- a 4* vs. a 3.5*) OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?Please confirm and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

IrishG Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 My aim is to get a 3.5* hotel or better for as cheap as possible preferably in the Quincy Market / Boston Common areas.
